RetailEX FranchisEX ASEAN 2015 (RFA 2015) is the International Trade Show for Retail & Franchise Business solutions which is co-organized by Thai Retailers Association and Globe International Events Consultancy. The event had more than 100 companies from 20 different countries, including Singapore pavilion, displaying over 120 brands from all around the globe. RFA15 showcased the latest retail technology, equipment, and services to over 5,000 visitors whom travelled from different regions to participate in the exhibition, congress, and numerous seminars & workshops. 950 from the total visitors came from 12 different origins, mainly from the ASEAN regions, such as Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, China, and India. The first launch of RetailEX FranchisEX ASEAN 2015 in Thailand was considered as the first big step which would strongly push Thailand to be the hub for retail and franchise business in the ASEAN region which could also be elevated to the global scale in the very near future.

Mr. Loy Joon How, General Manager, IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. mentioned that "The result from the official launched of RetailEX FranchisEX ASEAN 2015 was undoubtedly beyond our expectation. According to the data from both exhibitor and visitor surveys, it has shown that most visitors were very satisfied with how RFA15 was able to act as an all-in-one platform and gathered the most innovative technology for retail and franchise business to come under one roof. Following by that, IMPACT Exhibition has been discussing very closely with the Thai Retailers Association and comes to the conclusion that the organizers would make RetailEX FranchisEX an annual event and also aims to expand the total space from 50,000 to 135,000 square feet. At the same time, we are expecting the show to be held from 25-27 August 2016 at Hall 5-6, IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Centre."
